I would regularly call her from the hostel to guide her on what to study," Kaveri told TOI

Sarita worked in a private hospital for 10 years before she and her husband, also an RMP, started a private practice."When our elder daughter took up biology, physics and chemistry for higher secondary with the aim of getting into a medical college, my passion for the profession was rekindled. I didn't want to miss that opportunity again," Sarita said.

A resident of Manchyanayak thanda in Tungaturthi mandal in Suryapet district, Sarita is willing to reappear for the exam next year, if she doesn't make it this time. "In the last six months, I decided to take a break from work in order to concentrate on NEET preparation," Sarita said.
